		<title>Mugs and things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm, this is perplexing. Apparently Blacknight set up a thing where you can win one of their branded mugs, and Crispy told me to write a post about that for some reason.
Only real issue is that I have no idea what to talk about. So, I suppose maybe I could go on about some of [...]<hr /><strong><em>If you're reading this post, and it's not on <a href="http://www.thechrisd.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">my site</a> or on somewhere that is obviously related to me, then it was copied without my permission by scraping my RSS feed.

Just go there, and watch how everyone willingly shows how they are a fucking moron by making a mockery of our national holiday by thinking it&#8217;s all about drinking, and by spelling it wrong.
Eejits, the lot of them.
And while you&#8217;re at it, tag everything you write today with that hashtag.

Don&#8217;t judge me, just… do whatever.

		<description><![CDATA[Well this post was originally going to be able me deciding whether or not to go to the Blog Awards this year, but now that that&#8217;s set in stone, maybe it&#8217;s more about the plans I have for the awards.

		<title>New Society?</title>

I had this bizarre idea for a new society, along the lines of an investment society. That is to say, all member&#8217;s membership fees are basically shares in [...]<hr /><strong><em>If you're reading this post, and it's not on <a href="http://www.thechrisd.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">my site</a> or on somewhere that is obviously related to me, then it was copied without my permission by scraping my RSS feed.

Unless you&#8217;ve been under a rock and haven&#8217;t been noticing the Fantasy Premier League this week, you&#8217;ll have noticed Rooney&#8217;s scoring in both the first match, and his quad in the second match.

After last year&#8217;s epic fix whereas that &#34;Aloha Arleen&#34; or whatever-you-call-her won in personal over our good friend McAWilliams just because she had exponentially more followers, I say we try an easier category to fix this year.

I&#8217;m not sure if I really get all the hype over a new year. It&#8217;s just a number ticking over the next one because the cycle has ended.

Ever since actually attending Eirtakon this year, the whole act of cosplaying in general has always been on my mind (even at the worst of times…).

Seriously? It&#8217;s like why are Subway subs always nicer when you get them toasted, despite them charging an extra 20c for it (except in Westmoreland St. – epic win there). And why are chicken and turkey nicer when roasted?
